It's no secret that for some of us, winter is the hardest stretch of the year to get through. The festivities of the holiday season are behind us, leaving us with endless weeks of cold, dreary weather and darkness and seemingly nothing to really look forward to. It's no wonder that we all find ourselves struggling to push through, counting down the days until spring.
Winter is one of those seasons that's a big hit-or-miss for me. There have been some winters where I truly enjoyed every second, taken in by the magic of freshly fallen snow. Other winters, like this one, have proven more difficult. No snow. None of that childlike wonder. Only weeks of bare trees, grey skies, and rain. These are the winters that are hardest on us Washingtonians. Without the promise of snow, there isn't a whole lot left to romanticize about this time of year. But despite how underwhelming this winter has been, I still endeavor to document the things that have gotten me through it. And who knows, maybe this will give you some ideas to help you get through it as well.
